Garcia Achieves 1,000-Win Milestone
Jockey Martin Garcia, 27-year-old native of Veracruz, Mexico, scored the milestone 1,000th victory of his career Thursday when he booted home Bubba Fizz in the second race at Del Mar.
Bubba Fizz, a two-year-old gelded son of Sunriver owned by JR Riley Stables and trained by Mike Mitchell, responded gamely to Garcia's handling in the stretch to defeat Disarm by a head in the six furlong race over Del Mar's main track. Third choice in the wagering, Bubba Fizz paid $12.40 to win.
Garcia, again solidly entrenched among the top riders at Del Mar this summer, garnered his first career triumph August 17, 2005 at Bay Meadows. He enjoyed considerable success in the San Francisco area before coming to Southern California. In 2006, his first season at Del Mar, he finishing second in the standings to champion Victor Espinoza.
Garcia, who didn't begin his career until age 20, made it 1,001 wins in Thursday's seventh race, clicking astride 7-1 longshot Royal Encounter, also trained by Mitchell. Royal Encounter paid $17.60 and gave the young rider his 19th victory this season and a tie for fourth spot in the standings.
That situation only lasted until the featured eighth race which Garcia also won, going wire-to-wire aboard Racing Aptitude for trainer Bob Baffert, giving him a triple for the afternoon, 1,002 career wins and his 20th triumph of the meeting and making him all alone in fourth place in the standings behind Rafael Bejarano, Joe Talamo and Garrett Gomez.
Racing Aptitude, owned by Donald R. Dizney, raced a mile and one-sixteenth on the grass in 1:40.18 in defeating Red Sun by a half-length in 1:40.13. Thirtyfirststreet was third, with 8-5 favored Lucky Primo a troubled fourth.
Thursday's attendance totaled 8,557.

Reference Data Management: Reduce costs and ensure compliance with next generation technology
Today's tough new regulatory environment is driving firms to boost their risk management procedures and improve their operational efficiency. As such, firms are focusing on reference data management, particularly in light of new regulations, rapidly growing data volumes, and the high cost of manual reconciliation due to bad or incomplete data.
Break Through the Complexity! Transform & Modernize Your Enterprise to Lower Risks and Costs
Like many industries, Financial Services organizations (including Banks, Financial Markets and Insurance companies) face many challenges and conflicting priorities including reducing operating costs and risks while driving new sources of revenue, building capital and enhancing customer satisfaction. But often the cost and complexity of rigid infrastructures, silos of systems, and significant investments in legacy applications and resource skills hinder an organization's ability to effectively tackle the initiatives critical to the business.

How Barclays Built a File Transfer Service that's Easy, Secure and Cost-Effective
Barclays, a multinational banking and financial services provider, realized they huge file transfer problem—one that was making their internal teams and partners (not to mention their customers and auditors) very unhappy. Every project the managed file transfer team delivered was custom-built to exacting requirements. Sending data outside the bank was a costly proposition involving hours of red tape and taking up to 12 weeks. The solution was to fundamentally shift the way their organization worked. The goal? To make file transfer as easy as sending a letter (but much more secure.)

Capacity Management As You Know it is Dead: How Top Financial Services Organizations Are Managing Virtual & Cloud Infrastructure
Capacity management may not be quite dead, but the days of making periodic decisions using trending models are. Financial services organizations are radically changing how they plan and manage infrastructure to cope with the complexity of large-scale virtual and cloud environments and prevent the over-provisioning that results from old school planning models. The focus has shifted toward approaches that model demand "pipelines" and forecast based on capacity bookings, which more resembles a hotel reservation system than traditional capacity management. This is creating a whole new operational model that enables infrastructure planners, application owners and capacity teams to measure, control and plan for the constant flow of workloads in and out of an environment (on-boarding and de-commissioning), as well as organic growth (trending), all while optimizing workload placements and resource allocations to ensure optimal use of available capacity.

How Insurers Can Future Proof Their Next Customer Communication Management Investment
As insurance companies grapple with a number of high-priority challenges - including constantly changing regulations, the emergence of new channels such as mobile and social media, and the need to improve customer engagement and retention – the need for a modern, integrated and flexible customer communications management (CCM) system has never been so acute. Because insurers' ability to produce and distribute targeted, relevant multichannel customer communications have been hampered by siloed legacy systems that cannot meet today's demands for speed, scalability and flexibility, the industry has seen increased investment in new CCM-related systems. However, due to restrictions in the scope of capabilities of some of these offerings, or adoption of limited "use case" focused solutions, many insurers end up perpetuating the "legacy cycle" due to inevitable future migration or upgrade requirements.
HFT Under Attack: Using Big Data to Find New Trading Correlations and Opportunities
High-frequency trading (HFT) has been in the spotlight recently as market participants have debated the value of HFT for investors. While only a certain number of players compete at the ultra-low latency level, many other players are taking advantage of technologies utilizing models and strategies that leverage new data sets as well as more types of information. For instance, many firms are using Big Data technologies, coupled with complex event processing (CEP) and in-memory data analytics engines to uncover new trading opportunities. Big Data, which collects and brings in various newer types of data such as mobile tracking data and web search histories, can help traders and portfolio managers uncover the next trend or up and coming company. But how can market participants take advantage of Big Data without increasing latency or breaking the bank. Join Ivy Schmerken, editor-at-large for Wall Street & Technology, Dushyant Shahrawat, senior analyst at TowerGroup, and SAP/Sybase for an editorial webcast that will focus on the opportunities when it comes using Big Data in a trading strategy.
Terms of Transformation: Rethinking Core Policy System Replacement
Decades of experience have made insurers wary of legacy policy administration replacement initiatives due to highly publicized failures. In recent years modern rules-and-tools systems have gone a long way toward mitigating the risks associated with traditional, monolithic systems while providing increased flexibility and product speed-to-market. Nevertheless, insurers continue to struggle to separate hype from reality in vendor promises and to make sense of an emerging range of options, from best-of-breed and componentized suites to emerging cloud-based delivery options. In order to be able to make a compelling business case today, insurance executives must not only understand the merits of available solution options and implementation approaches, but also think more in terms of business, rather than technology, transformation as enabled through the construction of a holistic technology environment.
Getting Answers from Mobile Initiatives
It's safe to say that mobility is 'table stakes' for insurers. But attached to each nifty new application or tablet experience are two major questions: How effective is this, and how can we be sure? Establishing a library of major mobile benchmarks and metrics is important in making the business case for further mobile investment. Additionally, senior insurance executives will be looking for sophisticated strategies to develop and maintain newly implemented mobile initiatives.
Driving and Managing Innovative Mobile Banking and Insurance Applications
The mobile market is changing rapidly - driven by increased consumer demands and the continual introduction of new and innovative technologies. In order to keep up with this rapidly changing market space and technology pace, integrated tools are required to help quickly plan, design, build and test mobile applications.

Managing the Data Deluge: The Pros and Pitfalls of Solid-State Storage
As databases continue to expand at an exponential rate, financial organizations are challenged to find ways to efficiently analyze the data in a timely manner.

Analyzing the data for better customer service, new products or to respond to regulatory queries is how firms can get more value from their data. But given all of the business challenges, how can IT organizations respond to the data analytics needs from various business units without adding massive amounts of CPU processing power?

Engineering The Customer-Centric Insurance Enterprise
The consumerization of business has pointed the way to a relationship-oriented future for commerce, including insurance-related transactions. The rapidity and pervasiveness of public adoption of anytime-anywhere computing has also shown that insurers must take a holistic, architectural approach to customer-orientation and that piece-meal, point solution-oriented efforts will not result in competitive positioning in the marketplace. With the right design philosophy and the right technology, insurers can recast their processes to create a rewarding relationship between insurers and their customers, finding the right balance of automation and high-touch service, and creating an atmosphere of mutual benefit for all participants — while significantly increasing efficiency and productivity.
Strategies for Optimizing the Mobile Customer Experience
Mobile banking has evolved so much and become such a prominent channel in its brief lifespan that it is hard to define it as "emerging" anymore. With various reports indicating anywhere from 15-20 percent of the banking population engaging in mobile, it is becoming an ever-larger segment of the customer base. Yet many banks still haven't mastered the mobile customer experience.

Food crisis in Sahel deepens as people hope for a good harvest
Gladys Terichow
August 27, 2012
WINNIPEG, Man. – More than 18.7 million people, including 1 million children, are affected by a food and malnutrition crisis in the Sahel region in West Africa, according to reports from a United Nations agency.
Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is on the ground and providing emergency food assistance in Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali.
The harvest failed in 2011 and the crisis has been deepening since the start of this year, said Mark Sprunger, MCC area director for West Africa. Through early warnings from partner organizations, MCC has been responding since April.
"This is a very critical time," said Sprunger. "The Sahel is in the rainy season and it is when food supplies are the most limited. In some places the rains are better than last year. There is hope for a good harvest but until crops are harvested, food supplies will be low."
Referring to reports from the United Nations, Sprunger said prices of basic food throughout the region have increased dramatically. In Mali, for example, the price of the staple food, millet, is 116 percent higher than the five-year average.
Among the most vulnerable are small farmers who have a few hectares of land or less and hope to grow enough food to feed their families and a few animals.
"If anything goes wrong, they are in a bad way," said Sprunger. "If they didn't produce enough to last for a year, they use the seeds they were going to plant as a food source. When they don't have access to credit, they have to sell off assets, like their animals. If something happens to the cow that they use for cultivation, they have to do the cultivation by hand. All these things make small farmers very vulnerable."
Other factors contributing to the crisis include the internal conflict in Mali that results in families fleeing their homes. In northern Burkina Faso, sparse vegetation caused by deforestation forces traditional herding families to bring their animals farther south where violent and sometimes deadly conflicts arise between herders and farmers.
Working through local church development agencies, MCC helps provide food and grain to vulnerable families, strengthens two grain banks that give farmers a local market and supports food-for-work, cash-for-work and other activities.
Most of the projects are funded through MCC's account in Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB). The total value of MCC's response is more than $1 million. This includes contributions to MCC's account from the Canadian government.

Makes one 8-in-round bread
Gooey caramel poured into the bottom of the pan creates just enough stickiness to hold together the nut-and-sugar-coated balls of sweet dough. The result is a pull-apart treat that is fun and festive to eat. It is hard to resist getting your fingers seriously sticky as soon as you see it in its glossy, bumpy glory.
You'll wind up with more caramel than you'll need. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, and gently reheat it in a small saucepan when you want to dress up some ice cream.
Gooey caramel poured into the bottom of the pan creates just enough stickiness to hold together the nut-and-sugar-coated balls of sweet dough. The result is a pull-apart treat that is fun and festive to eat. It is hard to resist getting your fingers seriously sticky as soon as you see it in its glossy, bumpy glory.
You'll wind up with more caramel than you'll need. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, and gently reheat it in a small saucepan when you want to dress up some ice cream.
Grease the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan. Combine the flour, granulated sugar, yeast, and salt in the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with the dough hook. Add the milk, water, butter, and egg. Give the mixture a few turns with a rubber spatula to moisten all of the ingredients, and then mix on medium speed until smooth and shiny, about 2 minutes. Transfer the dough to a lightly oiled bowl or dough-rising container, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, and let stand at room temperature until it has doubled in volume, 1-1⁄2 to 2 hours.
Place the melted butter in a bowl and combine the brown sugar, nuts, and cinnamon in another bowl. Set aside.
Combine the sugar and water in a deep, heavy pot. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil, occasionally brushing down the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush to prevent the sugar from crystallizing (don't worry if your sugar does crystallize—some crunchy bits in the bread won't be noticeable). Boil the syrup without stirring until it turns an amber color, 5 to 7 minutes, swirling the pan occasionally for even cooking.
Remove the syrup from the heat and stir in the cream with a long-handled wooden spoon. The mixture will bubble up (thus the need for the deep pot and the long-handled spoon). Keep stirring until the caramel is smooth. Pour a thin layer of the hot caramel into the greased springform pan so that it coats the bottom of the pan. (Let the leftover caramel cool, and then refrigerate for up to 2 weeks in an airtight container; warm the caramel in a microwave oven or on top of the stove.)
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured countertop and cut into 1⁄2-inch pieces. Dip the balls in the melted butter and then roll in the cinnamon-sugar-nut mixture. Place the balls in the prepared pan. You will have 2 layers and a few extras to place on top. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and let rise until doubled in volume, about 1 hour.
Heat the oven to 350°F. Bake until deep brown and bubbling, 35 to 40 minutes. Transfer the pan to a wire rack and let cool for 15 minutes. Then run a sharp paring knife around the perimeter of the bread, release the sides of the springform pan, and let cool for another 20 minutes on the rack. Serve warm. Caramel Monkey Bread is best served on the day it is baked.

3/31/2013Holy #*@&. Let me start off by saying I approached this recipe a little differently. I prepared all the ingredients exactly as listed, but instead of using a spring form pan I used a bunt cake pan (mine is silicone, so I don't know how well this would work with a metal pan) I poured the caramel sauce into the bottom, then did as the recipe said places the pieces of dough on top. Baked at 350 for 35 minuets and when I took it out I immediately inverted it to let the caramel goodness seep into all the nooks and crannies.
I had zero issues with the caramel sauce, aside from the fact that it might be officially married to the bottom of my favorite pot. I suggest to anyone who had any issues with this recipe to try again and make sure you do everything exactly as directed.
I know caramel usually has butter in it.
I know it seems like the sugar isn't gonna dissolve.
Trust me, the entire time I was cursing off internet recipes and saying prayers that I didn't ruin Easter breakfast tomorrow when I serve this to my insanely critical family.
I know how you feel.
But I PROMISE you will be in gooey cinnamon heaven if you just have hope.
The only problem now is that I've eaten so much of it I'm gonna have to figure out something else to serve tomorrow!

2/22/2012I'd make this again, but forget about the "making carmel".
by Ksattler,
1/10/2012The bread was tasty. Ran out of the cinnamon/nut mixture. But the "caramel" came out predictably bad. The sugar kept recrystalizing and never turned amber. I was very surprised it was granulated sugar and not brown sugar in the recipe. Also 2 cups sugar to a forth of a cup water seems and is WAY imbalanced. There isn't enough water to dissolve the sugar & turn amber before to boils off and you have plain old sugar again. Also, butter is needed for caramel. Don't bother with this recipe's caramel instructions. Oh, and with the cream, it doesn't bubble up more than an inch, so if you do try the "caramel" part of the recipe a standard pot is fine.
by allee2295,
1/8/2012I think the caramel sauce is missing some butter! As the previous person said, the sauce hardened as soon as it hit the pan. I was unable to spread it over the bottom. The sauce tasted like just what it was...sugar, not caramel at all.

11/1/2011Terrific dessert - my family of four devoured the entire thing in a few hours. I'm an experienced home bread baker and was impressed with the ease of preparation and the texture and taste of the finished product. I will certainly make it again. I baked it in a non-stick Bundt pan rather than a spring-form pan, and substituted walnuts for pecans. Some instructions were lacking (how exactly does one go from a single large ball of dough to 1/2" pieces?), so I cut the dough in two, formed each half into a long roll and pinched pieces off - I found 1" balls to be a better size and less time-consuming than making 1/2" ones. The small bread balls work nicely to allow people to take whatever size of serving they please. One note: the caramel, which was smooth and translucent in the saucepan, hardened on contact with the baking pan into a thin layer with the texture of sponge toffee. I baked it as directed, but it remained stuck to the baking pan after the 15-min. cooling period, so the promised delicious gooeyness was missing from the finished product. No matter! It got rave reviews anyway. I'd be happy for feedback on what may have happened with the caramel, though. Although I used the wet-pastry-brush trick, I suspect a little crystallized syrup on the sides of the pan caused the rest to crystallize as well.

Bishop of Worcester's Christmas message
5:10pm Tuesday 24th December 2013 in Local
THE Bishop of Worcester, Dr John Inge, has issued a Christmas message.
He said: "It's often said that there's something magical about Christmas, that it has a fairy tale quality to it. However, the greatest thing about Christmas is that it is celebrating a real event, not an imaginary one. And that particular event should lift the spirits more than anything else. Why? Because behind the birth of Jesus which we celebrate at Christmas lies the greatest truth we shall ever encounter – that the God who made us, the God who flung stars into space and created the whole universe out of nothing, is the same God loves you and me more than we can possibly imagine.
"That's what he sent Jesus to tell us by his birth, tell us by his life, tell us by his teaching, tell us by his death and tell us by his resurrection. It's a simple truth but it's a profound one: you are loved. You are part not of a cosmic accident, nor of a fairy tale nor of a magic show but of the greatest love story ever.
"So, if despite the fun of Christmas this year you are possessed by doubts, worries, pain or anxiety, let the profound message of Christmas reach deep into your heart. You are loved – infinitely, gloriously, wonderfully and eternally loved. And nothing, but nothing, will be able to come between you and that love if you choose to receive it.
"There are many in our community who are in desperate need of human care and compassion as well as divine love this Christmas. The number of people and families being fed by the Worcester Foodbank, which is run by the church, has more than doubled in the last year. Around 40-50 people and families are being fed each day at present – I know that other foodbanks around Worcestershire and Dudley have also seen increases.
Those who started the Foodbank are people who have been gripped by God's love and have responded to it wholeheartedly. They are grateful for how much they have been given and are impelled, as a result, to reach out to others. May we all be touched by God's great love in Jesus this Christmas and, as a result, be enabled to show that same love to those who most need it."

'The Great Beauty' has style, but doesn't live up to the hype
FILM Paolo Sorrentino has only been directing features for 12 years, so perhaps it's premature to expect a masterpiece from him — although he probably doesn't think so. Amid generally tepid post-millennium Italian cinema, he's been consistently ambitious and bold, from 2001's One Man Up onward. That facility has won a lot of acclaim (most notably for 2008's Il Divo), but also attracted a certain amount of skepticism: Is he more style than substance? What does he have to say?
The Great Beauty, aka La Grande Bellezza, arrives as a high-profile contender for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar, already anointed a masterpiece in some quarters, and duly announcing itself as such in nearly every grandiose, aesthetically engorged moment. Yes, it seems to say, you are in the presence of this auteur's masterpiece. But it's somebody else's, too. The problem isn't just that Fellini got there first, but that there's room for doubt whether Sorrentino's homage actually builds on or simply imitates its model.
La Dolce Vita (1960) and 8 1/2 (1963) are themselves swaying, jerry-built monuments, exhilaratingly messy and debatably profound rather than "perfect" works of art. But nothing quite like them had been seen before, and they did define a time of cultural upheaval — when traditional ways of life were being plowed under by a loud, moneyed, heedless modernity that for a while chose Rome as its global capital. The mood there was giddy and alienating, magnetizing celebrities (especially as the Italian film industry found itself hosting myriad international productions), virtually creating "paparazzi" — a term introduced in 1960 by Fellini to describe the ambushing photographers buzzing like flies around movie stars and pop idols.
The films were so striking and influential that even (or most of all) Fellini himself couldn't escape them. For the most part his later works were increasingly pale imitations, risking self-parody even as other artists waxed "Fellini-esque" on their own terms.
Sorrentino announces his intention to out-Fellini Fellini in an opening sequence so strenuously flamboyant it's like a never-ending pirouette performed by a prima dancer with a hernia. There's statuary, a women's choral ensemble, an on-screen audience applauding the director's baffled muse Toni Servillo, standing in for Marcello Mastroianni — all this and more in manic tracking shots and frantic intercutting, as if sheer speed alone could supply contemporary relevancy. Eventually The Great Beauty calms down a bit, but still its reason for being remains vague behind the heavy curtain of "style."
Servillo's dapper Jep Gambardella is turning 65, a never-married playboy who once wrote a well-regarded novel, then ever since has done nothing but interview other famous people and stay at the center of the Eternal City's uppermost social whirl. Somehow he's remained rich and famous himself, bearing the bored-with-it-all air that precludes discussion of what (if anything) he ever did to become either. He's still invited everywhere, still occasionally beds the requisite younger women attracted by power. But it's all getting old — not that Jep seems like someone to whom it was ever new, or who'd be able to find fulfillment elsewhere now that he's drunk his fill of privileged excess.

Odds And Gods by Tom Holt
The set-up of this book is quite intriguing. As Gods retire they live in a retirement home together. I'm not sure exactly where I'd have taken it, but it wouldn't have been the same place that Holt did. Which doesn't make what he did bad...but it was only moderately successful. We end up with two concurrent storylines. One involves a reasonably typical "quest" line that happens to involve a couple of retired Gods (Osiris and Pan). The other involves...well not much of anything except some antics by Thor, Odin and Frey in repairing and flying a traction engine. It's necessary for the ultimate Deus ex Machina, but it's not compelling.
There are things to like here, but ultimately the total is less than the sum of the parts. And some of the parts aren't that spiffy.
Hot has been very hit and miss. This was a miss.

"Representing Violence on Mexico's Northern Border: Film, Photography and Performance."
Dr. Kirsten Nigro
Associate Professor of Spanish, University of Texas, El Paso
This talk concerns the issue of the "almost unspeakable" violence on the border and how to represent it artistically. While Dr. Nigro's work focuses on Mexican theatre, she is more convinced that theatre is not the most suited medium for this representation (or at least the theatre in Mexico that deals with it). The combination of performative rallys and protests, installation art, along with photographs of dead or missing victims has had a greater impact than any play has Given that she lives next door to what has become the most violent city in the world, Dr. Nigro is also struggling with the tension between the conceptual and the very "real."

I have been going to ALLISON at Blu for the last 4 years since she successfully fixed the MAUVE colored hair my previous stylist had left me with one day. I'd never loved my hair before Allison, frustrated with the wave and the coarseness and the color. Ever since the first time, she has left me with beautiful hair and taught me the best ways to style my hair to disguise the things I don't like and emphasize the things I do. She is EXCELLENT at color and my hair always looks like I've been blessed with great natural dimensional color. Love her!
I have been going to ALLISON at Blu for two years and have gone through many, many, many hair changes. I have gone from barbie blond to fire red and back to blond again. She has been very helpful every step of the way taking fantastic care of my hair!! She also did my hair for my wedding as well as my six bridesmaids. She had never seen most of the girls hair and they all loved their final looks. She has amazing taste and I can just go in and say do what you want and it always turns out perfect!! But she will also do just what I want if I have a cut or style in mind. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great stylist. She makes my hair look and feel like a billion bucks!!!
ALLISON has been my hair stylist since beauty school so to say I've tried everything I could possibly try with my hair is an understatement. No matter what I throw at her, red blonde brown redish blonde short long bangs no bangs, she can tackle any request and rock it. ALLISON is well worth the money, I couldn't begin to count how many people I've referred her to, and I would be LOST without her amazing skills and beautiful smile!
Blu is fantastic: professional, courteous and a wonderful atmosphere.
Alison is AMAZING!!! I would NEVER go to anyone else. She is incredibly talented, able to do even the most challenging requests with ease and she has a personality to match. She is my forever stylist!
Do yourself, and your hair, a favor and try Blu, and ask for Alison!
Done with Blu – Can't keep appointments, it has happened twice in a row now. The first time, I was okay, it happens but the second time I "wasn't in the system" I said that's it. Good thing I called both times to confirm or I would have showed up to find out I "wasn't in the system". Too bad because they had a great stylist, Trish.
Time for a real review – I had Peggy as my stylist. I had a groupon coupon. The haircut was ok at best. I made the mistake of not asking the price beforehand. After the cut I asked her how much I owed and was expecting to hear zero. (my haircut was 1 level up from a bang trim) when she told me another $25 I almost fell over. First of all, I've been to many very good reputable salons downtown, pearl, sellwood etc and I have never been charged $65 for a basic haircut. When I've paid in the $50 range, I got a very good haircut. I'm sorry but Peggy is not in that category. Not even close. What good is it to buy a groupon coupon if the prices get jacked up when we go to redeem them? Do yourself a favor, ask the stylist you choose how much she charges BEFORE you sit in her chair. The worse part of it all? I still need a haircut!!!
WASN'T HAPPY – so i got a groupon for the blu a salon so that my daughter could get a hair cut for her birthday present. and for first day of school. i was pay $20 get $40 worth. before i bought it i looked online at there website to see the prices it was pretty reasonable so i got it. i called and made a appointment today thinking the hair cut should be $25 and there would be enough for a eyebrow wax? and also give a $5 tip. she got her hair cut then i asked how much guess what it was $45 JUST FOR THE HAIR CUT!! so i had to pay extra and no eyebrow waxing.i told her about the website prices she said oh well i charge $45 and the lowest person charges $40 what kind of male cow dropping is that .... i told the girl they needed to fix the website prices cause if i knew that before i got the coupon i would of got this one that you get deep condition, hair cut, hair color, and style for $55.. if you ask me its a WAY BETTER deal...
Only ok – I was hoping for wonderful, based on other reviews. It was ok. Parking was a little difficult. I will try again, but next time I'll ask for a specific stylist based on other reviews, like Trish for example. I made my appointment with whomever was available. Mistake on my part!!
SO THANKFUL FOR TRISH – I have been coming to Blu for a year now. I heard about Trish (my stylist) from a friend who has the same hair as me... Straight, fine and volume-less. I have had bad hair cuts for years now, it gets tiring after awhile, but after having Trish cut my hair I have (honestly) never been happier. She knows how to cut fine hair to give it body and volume without giving you a "bob" cut. I live in Spain currently, but I am so happy with her haircuts that I wont let anyone else touch my hair, I just hold on 5 or so months till I pass through Portland again so that Trish can give me a trim or cut. That's the other good thing, her cuts really last!
Thank you Trish for everything, especially for helping me love my hair for the first time in my life!
Charlotte Whitcomb--GREAT! – Had my first ever appointment at Blu yesterday. Charlotte was my stylist. She did an AWESOME job!! Wonderful shampoo/scalp/neck massage--very relaxing. I like the atmosphere of the salon--comfortable, friendly, professional without being pretentious. Charlotte is very friendly, knowledgeable, and really heard what I was saying. I am so happy with the job she did. I LOVE my hair. I now have an appointment with her for color! Thank you Charlotte!!

Warranty: 1 Year Limited

had problem with gnats worked great so good I orded a seconed one
Not worth it
Waste of money
great bug catcherI have had one of these for about 5 years and find it very good at catching mosquitoes, gnats and other small bugs. My bulb just burned out though and I am not sure where to find one for a replacement. Tried a fish pet store, but they had none and tried Home Depot. I hope I can find one soon.
Indoor Mosquito Trap
I wasn't sure the Indoor Mosquito trap was going to work, so I just bought one. After it caught a dozen mosquitos (and a few other bugs) the first night that I used it, I was convinced and bought 2 more. I would give this product 5 stars, but 1 of the 3 that I bought is not working.
item very good . advertising bad
I was extremely excited to get this indoor mosquito trap, as I live in south Florida and they are jus beginning to come out! However, after about 2 weeks using the device, I have only trapped ONE bug, and I have followed the directions exactly. Also, I knew I had some mosquitoes in here because they were biting me. I am disappointed and will be returning the machine. I need something safe for pets (I have a cat), so I hope there is a better solution.
it is not working!!!!!
Works Great
I had a infestation of white flys and bought 2 of these and place one at each end of the house. In twos days most flys were completly gon. Works great just as they said it would.
So far, so good....
I bought this product to take care of the fruit flies and so far it is doing it's it's job. I have it in the kitchen as they love the fruit and veggies and have trapped a lot of the little buggers. The first time I cleaned the trap after a few days, I saw a large number of dried up bugs and a few live ones. The live ones will crawl up out of the trap drawer when the trap is turned off, so hence the need to really keep it turned on 24/7. The fan is a liitle loud, but like one other customer posted it's a "white noise", constant.
we use this insect trap for mosquitos; it really works! No more pesky bugs.
The Indoor Insect Trap (Model MA06) has proven to be effective in controling houseflies, moths, mosquitos, and other small flying insects in a room that has two doors to the outside. The fan occasionally was noisy within the first minute or so after starting; the fan eventually failed after 14 months of nightly use.
Works Great!
This time of year it always seems that a few mosquitos manage to find their way indoors. I put this on a shelf between my living room and bedroom and was suprised to see that it caugh 25+ mosquitos the first week! I would definitely recommend this product!
Mosquito Magnet
I have used this product for over 2 months in the house and it has surpassed our expectations. We have 2 dogs that go in and out numerous times throughout the day which exacerbated the mosquito problem. The unit was catching around 7 per day and then decreased until there were no live mosquitos in the house. We now only have to turn it on 2-3 times a week at night. It is quite with only a slight sound from the fan. We placed it as directed, for us it was on a bar top between the kitchen and dining room. Mosquitos liked the wet sink area by the kitchen. At about the same time we also bought the Magic Mesh (magnetic screen) for our back door that the dogs were using. It worked well in helping keep many of the mosquitos out and did its job but is not very durable with pets or tall persons. The Kaz took care of the rest. Well worth the price. No defects or problems with the unit, easy to dispose of or rellease the pests. I will probably buy another Magic Mesh for the next mosquito season but the Kaz Stinger is durable and keeps working.
Bugs Be Gone
This is not the first time that I have bought, these bug zapper or bug sucker. These bug zapper are great in catching bugs, but, also great night lights to. I use these bug zappers, all over the house.
Works Great!
i love this machine. It really works.
Kaz bug hine
works good
Best trap for IndoorsThis is the best indoor mosquito trap I ever purchased. Had my current one for at least 2 years, I think. Could be longer. No fuss, no muss. Catches all mosquitoes in the house. Buying three more for gifts. Lots of mosquitoes in the Summer months.
Stopped working in less than a year
Bought the item at costco.changed the bulbs 3 times...all failed.used another trap and ths second one worked great;so i know it wasn't the bulbs/ I don't want a coupon,i'd like to have the company repair it for free
Bought MA06 Indoor Insect Trap back in December 2011. Worked great for one month on moths, which is what we bought it for. Then the lamp went out. Ordered B04 lamps from Ace Hardware but that didn't help, and I now don't think the lamp was burned out in the first place. Fan works fine, lamps do not power up. Now what? Moths are returning with a vengeance.
Short Bulb Life
The product can basically be a good item. However, the bulb which is supposed to last 1000 hours burnt out after just about a week (168 hours). If the next bulb lasts the indicated 1000 hours I will blame it upon the bulb sold with the product. As for the zapper itself, it seems to work. I am only bothered by small mosquitos and although I never see any dead ones on the screen inside, I want to presume that they have been de-hydrated into dust. Upon using it, my home seems more free of mosqutes than before. If a mosquito gets into my home and is in a room away from the zapper, I get bitten until it finds its way into my living room where the zapper is located.
We purchased this product last year and we love it. We catch mosguitoes every nite in it. We did not notice the mosquitoes in our home until we placed the nosquito there one nite. Now we use it every nite. No more pests. Thank you.
This has been a great investment. We have an 1100 sq ft apt. mosquito's kept coming in and biting my wife. We owned a stinger bug zapper but they tended to take cover within the unit lol The nosquito works so much better. We've reduced the bug issue and she doesn't get bitten every night it works wonderfully
Breaks To Easily
Not much to really review, as WHEN the machine did work, which wasn't very long, it did great, but the light went out, so I assumed (wrongly) that it was a bulb. I ordered 2 replacement bulbs, and you can imagine my irritation when neither bulb worked. You really need more work on the light part of these machines, as it was not in service long, before going out, I will NOT BUY ANOTHER ONE OF THESE MACHINES, TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!!
The Best
As a college student, I brought along the stinger trap my parents had at home (they weren't using it). So after at least 2 years of no use, I started using it, and it works beautifully (At least up to the moment I'm submitting this review). Although there seems to be little scientific evidence that mosquitos are attracted to UV light, it is common knowledge that bugs are attracted to light in general. I'm guessing the product would work equally well with a non-UV lamp. But who knows.The limitation is of course that this product will only work in a ~small room. Don't expect your entire home to be mosquito-free if one trapper is sitting in the kitchen. I use it for a dorm room and it works like a charm.
NØsquito Stinger Indoor Insect Trap
I use this on my desk - right beside my monitor. It is a little louder hum than I expected but it works pretty well. It's fall here in NE Texas and we like to leave the doors open at the office however, we also get a batch of tiny mesquitos and this little machine does the trick. Still have an occasional one who gets past it but not many for sure.
Excellent PriceTwo units 1 indoor/ 1 outdoor at a cost that will not empty the pocket book.
Nosquito Indoor Insectg Trap
Buying this product was an easy choice as I already own one. If you wish to trap flying insects inside your home, especially mosquitos, this is the product for you. We live in Mexico and there are significant mosquito populations where we live. I run this insect trap day and night and it works.
I close the doors and windows and turn on the insect trap. Within a couple hours, most of the mosquitos in the room I'm clearing are gone. The proof is in the pudding. Every time I clean out the trap it contains hundreds of dead mosquito carcasses.
I think this unit is far more effetive than it's big brother the Stinger Exterior "Ultra Insect Killer" unit.
marvelous!What simple concept for indoors! I look forward to seeing how it will help with the knats and mosquitos
works great
This bug catcher works great. It does not zap and kill the bugs. The bugs get caught in the drawer. Make sure you release them somewhere where they won't fly right back into the window. I release them on my terrace. I like this type of trapping and not zapping the bugs, because I have cats. Please keep in mind that this bug catcher has a fan. If you are somewhere chilly, you might now want to use this there.
Stinger Indoor Insect Trap
I just recently purchased and started using the Stinger Indoor Insect Trap in my home as I have been losing sleep at night due to an invasion of mosquitos. I set the unit up in my bedroom and after the first night I noticed an immediate improvement 1) not being awakened by viscious mosquito buzzing noise and bites 2) I went to clean out the trap the following morning and saw about 10 dead mosquitos. I highly recommend this fantastic product if you too suffer from viscious mosquito invasions.
Do Not Buy
I have 2 older models and bought the new redesigned model this year. We have an issue with moths this time of year. To date one of the older units has trapped 111 moths, the newer unit omly 13. I recommend trying to find the older style somewhere. Also the new unit is much harder to remove trap and clean.
no squito/kaz
Absolutely marvelous product. We live in a condo right on garden level! Mosquitos in the summer , pour in the front door the moment it is opened. Your product, unlike nasty mosquito sprays really does the job! This last one that I ordered was to replace one of the six units that we own. But they have lasted a long while....actually we purchased the six in 2005.
Stinger indoor insect trap
This indoor bug catcher is amazing...I have one in my child's bedroom because for some reason she was always getting bitten in the night. (and it also works as a night light) because the bugs are attracted by a light... so it lights up the room just enough so your child isnt in the dark. There are no part on it that anyone can get hurt on so thats a plus too. I bought a second one because I liked it so much and use it in my office at night... for some reason when my air conditioner is on some little bugs get in and the bug catcher is full of them in the morning!
Stinger Insect Defense SystemIt works both of them, the one on the inside and out.
Stinger Mosquito Trap
Unit arrived working and easy to set up.
Removal and re-insertion of trap drawer is a bit difficult, particularly re-insertion. Getting trap out of unit without releasing caught mosquitos requires careful attention to trap lever. Makes more noise than anticipated, but not offensive.
Have been using in various rooms for two weeks, caught 5 mosquitos and one small fruit fly, inadvertently released 2 mosquitos, so may have only caught 3... : )
Seems to work best in dark room and confined space.
Overall, failry happy with unit. It does catch mosquitos, but it does not kill them (which then leaves the dilema of how to get them out of the trap without releasing them.
Probably deserves 3 1/2 stars.
10% as good as old model
Bought 2 of the old style units a few years ago and one stopped working so last spring I bought this new model. Used the old unit and new this summer. We have a problem with moths in the house. Caught over 100 moths in the old unit, a mere ten in the new model.
Kazz Bug Vacume
I bought this for controling fruit flies when canning in the fall ! it works extreamly well so i bought another (2 total) . even when i am done for the day i leave them running because of the fruit that hasen't been canned yet all night and has cured a real bug problem for me plus i don't have to worry about Grand kids around it ! (helpers) so these will run untill i am finished canning (about 1 month of canning) 150 plus quarts of stuff as it ripens or is processed ! thank you !!!

Cultural terrorism in Indian cinema
[Dr. Abdul Ruff Colachal, Chancellor-Founder of Centor for International Affairs(CIA); Specialist on State Terrorism ; Global columnist, Commentator on world affairs , Expert on Mideast Affairs, Analyst on sport fixings , Chronicler of Foreign occupations & Freedom movements (Palestine, Kashmir, Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Xinjiang, Chechnya, etc.) Former university Teacher; website:
Artistic freedom is vital for creative thinkers.
Muslims are the most insulted, most injured and most terrorized people on this earth and cinema and media have only aggravated the situation by their anti-Muslim or direct anti-Islam campaigns.
Role being played by essentially anti-Islamic media (AIM) in terrorizing Muslims globally has been devastating for decades now. Millions of innocent Muslims have been massacred by anti-Islamic axis powers led by USA-UK terror twins and assisted by their eastern puppet regimes.
Like other mass media, Cinema also has done its part in this criminal shames and in promoting Islamophobia.
Targeting Muslims with incurious insults cannot make any real entertainment. Money and fame earned by anti-Muslim campaigns is dirty. India/Tamil cinema must leave Muslims alone...
In the name of entertainment, India cinema has systematically encouraged the anti-Muslim themes as part of cultural terrorism being promoted by Hindutva forces for Hindu votes more than for mere sadistic pleasure.
There are strong anti-Islam networks operating globally spreading poisonous hatred against Islam and targeting Muslims. India is known for its anti-Muslim mindset. Media nuts in India have acquired full liberty to throw mud on Muslims and defame Islam by using anything and everything they think fit for the purpose. Astonishingly even the Indian cinema which is supposed to cater for the societal need for entertainment during leisure hours have resorted to anti-Muslim portrayals.
This poisonous trend is harmful to the communal harmony and even nationhood in the long run.
Unfortunately, more than in Hindi and other languages, it is Tamil cinema which has been insulting Muslims. top actors are cast to discredit Islam and bring bad name for Muslims which harms ordinary Muslims in the society. It seems the directors/producers and censor board have encouraged this anti-Muslim phenomenon in culture.
The process of cultural malign campaigns in cinema and media against Muslims has been going on for years because the fanatics take silence by Muslims as tacit approval of anti-Muslim attacks. Also, because the censor boards supposed to promote cultural integration help the movie makers sow seeds of hatred against Muslims.
Obviously, the censor boards are infested by anti-Muslim fanatic elements and they need to be weeded out and boards reconstituted with genuine people.
It is in this context I appreciate the Tamil Nadu governmental orders for stopping the release of two Tamil moves of big stars in recent days. Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka have also banned the release of a Kamal film for the same reason.
Actors and artists need to be very cautious about the anti-Muslim content and anti-Islam phenomena in their movies insulting the helpless Muslims even directly. They are considered by many young people as role models and they have important responsibilities before the society. They should therefore try not to get into the trap of fanatics to belittle Muslims and try only to promote harmony as far as possible.
Films can be produced without insulting Muslims because as minority they would be placed under more strains because of the prevailing anti-Muslim environment in the country. Anti -Muslim outfits like Hindutva forces can easily use it to advance their vote bank politics.
India must ban all anti-Muslim movies that generate hatred towards Muslims and Islam. Tamil cinema is worse than Malayalam counterpart in insulting Muslims.
Popular cinema should work for real multi-cultural fusion and not to propagate cultural terrorism in any manner.
Cultural terrorism in Indian cinema as offshoot of political and economic terrorism as well as intellectual fanaticism can harm genuine interests of Muslims as major minority already facing perpetual wrath of ultra Hindutva forces for Hindu votes.
India cannot promote or pamper anti-Muslim entertainments!
د. عبد راف
Global media today, even in Muslim nations, are controlled by CIA & other anti-Islamic agencies.Terrorism is caused by anti-Islamic forces.Regimes often resort to state terrorism. Anti-Muslimism and anti-Islamism are more dangerous than "terrorism" Fake democracies like USA, Israel and India have zero-tolerance to any criticism of their anti-Muslim and other aggressive practices. Anti-Islamic forces & terrorists are using criminal elements for terrorizing the world and they in disguise are harming genuine interests of ordinary Muslims.

"Is everybody in crisscross applesauce?" asked Shanae Collins, a volunteer and parent of one of the children, before beginning story time.
Those 15 kids, normally students in Head Start programs across Calhoun County, were among 770 area children who awoke today unable to attend their regular classes, after the federal government shutdown interrupted the program's funding.
Cheaha Regional received about $8 million in federal money for the 2013 fiscal year, which ended Sunday.
Head Start is a federally funded program providing education, health and other services to children from low-income families.
The failure of Congress to reach a budget deal by midnight today partially shut down the federal government, which closed each of the 18 Head Start locations run by the Cheaha Regional Head Start in the program's six-county area, Program Director Dora Jones said.
The small class inside the Hobson City church was a last-minute salve organized by volunteers and Head Start teachers who are working without pay. The volunteers said they're doing it to help parents, many of whom have no other place to take their children so they can work and go to school.
The 267 paid workers with Cheaha Regional are now out of work. Jones spent Tuesday tying up loose ends and answering hundreds of calls from parents worried about where to take their children. Jones would leave work Tuesday uncertain of when she'll return, she said.
"We knew if they didn't pass that bill we were in the group of possible shut-downs," Jones said.
She said the staff hoped that Congress would reach a deal at the eleventh hour.
"But they didn't," she said.
A letter was sent to parents last week informing them that a shutdown of Head Start was possible, Jones said.
"You can't even refer them somewhere else because a lot of our parents that are eligible for Head Start aren't able to go out and pay for private childcare," Jones said.
"The uncertainty of not knowing how long it's going to last, it has a very negative impact on all our families and staff," Jones said. "Right now there's just so much political stuff in it we can't even serve the children that have the greatest need of all."
Jeana Ross, commissioner of the Alabama Department of Children's Affairs, said six of 32 state Head Start grant recipients statewide are facing financial troubles, but only Cheaha Regional closed Tuesday.
"It depended on their funding cycle," Ross said.
Agencies affected by the shutdown have funding cycles that began Oct. 1, Ross said.
Including Cheaha Regional, those affected Head Start providers are Florence City Schools, Walker County Board of Education, Dothan City Board of Education, Gulf Regional Child Care Management and Cullman City Schools.
Those agencies provide services for 1,815 children and employ 447 staff members.
Although Cheaha Regional is the first to close, Ross said the other five agencies will have to operate on what funding each has left.
"Some of them are going to keep them open until the 11th," Ross said.
The remaining five agencies will operate on what funds each has left, she said, adding that many are school systems that will be meeting in the coming weeks to discuss the matter.
According to the Alabama Head Start Association website, 17,424 Alabama children are enrolled in the program, which has 3,419 paid workers.
Grants that fund Head Start programs are given directly from the U.S. Department of Education to local community action agencies, said Malissa Valdes-Hubart, spokeswoman for the Alabama Department of Education.
When Taqua Robertson heard Head Start would close, the 17-year employee of the program said she was devastated. Robertson worked at the Heflin Head Start program, operated by Cheaha Regional.
Robertson worked Tuesday alongside Collins with the children in the Hobson City church. She helped organize the all-volunteer class by posting to social networking websites and making phone calls.
"It's just in my heart. I always try to take care of children and provide a safe place," Robertson said.
It's not clear how long the government shutdown will last, and that has parents and Head Start workers uncertain about the future.
Eugene Leonard, pastor of the Life Center Church, said a church member proposed the idea to start the class and he quickly signed on.
"We're trying to do whatever we can to help the community," Leonard said. "We had some college students who came in this morning to drop their kids off and said 'Thank you, because we weren't going to go to class today without anybody to keep our kids.' We're going to do it until the shutdown ends, and it's totally free."
Erica Butts, assistant coordinator at Norwood Head Start, is volunteering at the church class. She's a familiar face for some of the children there, and that's helped calm them during a confusing and stressful time, she explained.
For the workers who make their living in the program there remains much confusion and stress, she explained.
Ericka Richmond, an Army major stationed at the National Guard Training Center at Fort McClellan, brought a cash donation to the volunteer-staffed class at the Life Center Church on Tuesday morning.
"I'm fortunate because I'm able to provide for my girl to go to school," Richmond said. Many families are not so fortunate, she said.

[ let's break these out as small sidebars]
K-12 public schools not touched by shutdown for now
Malissa Valdes-Hubart, spokeswoman for the Alabama Department of Education, said there will be no immediate impact for Alabama's public schools. Federal funds for major public school programs were appropriated in July and this month by the U.S. Department of Education, she said.
"I'm just kind of holding my breath to see how long it's going to last," Anniston City Schools Superintendent Joan Frazier said.
Frazier said that the government shutdown has the potential to affect federal cash flow in the future. That federal money provides for about 24 percent of the district's approximately $20 million budget, Frazier said.
Students' financial aid secure
Stephanie Miller, assistant director of financial aid at JSU, said students will see no reduction or interruption in their financial aid because of the government shutdown.
Federally funded Pell grants were signed into law last year and cannot be changed, regardless of a government shutdown, Miller explained.
Supplemental grants and work study programs could be cut if lawmakers decide to do so when crafting a new federal budget, Miller explained, but that would have nothing to do with the government shutdown.
There will be changes at JSU's Little River Canyon Center, however. The center operates in the Little River Canyon National Preserve in partnership with the National Park Service, which has closed parks nationwide because of the shutdown. The center's gift shop, restrooms and video presentations will remain open, but the park surrounding it will close, according to a press release from JSU.
Kay Smith-Foster, director of public relations at Gadsden State Community College, said that administrators there have received no news as to how the shutdown could affect the school.
"If it lingers on for a while I'm sure notifications will have to come out," Foster said, adding that for now, "We're all in the dark."
